[HamSat] 70 cm Receive Converter

[Andrew Roos]

I'm new to satellites and would like to work some of the 2m up / 70cm down
LEO satellites. Since I already have a Yaesu FT480R 2m multimode (10W
output) and a Kenwood TS680S HF + 6m transceiver, I thought a 70 cm receive
converter with an output in the HF range might be a good way to go. Any
thoughts on this, and any suggestions for a suitable receive converter
(either ready built or kit)?

Thanks and 73,
Andrew
